ETSU placed full page ads in GI Jobs magazine to build brand awareness within the military community. With thousands of distribution points worldwide, these ads in GI Jobs magazine put ETSU top of mind for military service-members and veterans.
VIQTORY sent out an “E-Blast” on behalf of ETSU to GI Jobs’ mailing list of 55,000 veterans and service-members. The email included ETSU branding and a customized recruitment message that emphasized why a veteran would be interested in ETSU’s opportunities
A sponsored school profile for ETSU was placed on GIjobs.com, highlighting their educational opportunities and generating interest in them from the 1.6 million individuals that visit the site each year.
